This dressing is so simple to throw together and keeps for days in the fridge– make it once, and use it for days. It gives an instant pop of flavor to salads, serves as a marinade for chicken or fish, it’s delish on pasta, and is even perfect for dipping bread and cheese! Try it out and you will be sure to use it on the reg.
Let’s talk about THREE of my favorite kitchen tools, all of which I use to make this dressing:
- OXO Citrus Squeezer— No need for a juicing tool and strainer anymore, this strains the seeds and extracts ALL the juice. I can’t believe I didn’t have one until a few months ago!
- Garlic press— the one I have is all stainless steel and has stood the test of time. I took it from my parents’ kitchen when I moved to college and I have no idea what brand it is. Yes, a garlic press is an extra tool to wash, but I love how FAST it minces garlic– highly recommend.
- Mini whisk–– I distinctly remember buying myself this tool for my birthday last year. (This is what you do in your thirties.) I can honestly say I use it all the time and it was the best $9 I’ve spent– on my birthday!
